Fennel essential oil |
||
Fennel oil is used to treat various liver, kidney, and spleen conditions. Fennel oil eases indigestion, flatulence, the hiccups, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It contains natural estrogen that helps regulate menstrual periods (and may stimulate milk flow). Fennel oil is sometimes used in weight lose programs due to its diuretic properties. When inhaled, fennel oil relieves asthma and nasal congestion. Fennel oil is sometimes used to clean poison from insect and snake bites. Fennel oil is used in aromatherapy to encourage strength, courage, and self esteem. *Do not take essential oils internally. Always dilute essential oils with good carrier oil (such as almond or olive) and test on small area of skin before use. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using any herbal remedy especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking other medicines. |
